Methodology [edit]. Median age is the age that divides a population into two numerically equal groups-that is, half the people are younger than this age and half are older. It is a single index that summarizes the age distribution of a population. Currently, the median age ranges from a low of about 15 in Uganda to 40 or more in several European countries, Canada and Japan.
